I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 3960: Chapter 3948: Little-Known News

Lin Yi hung up the phone with a smack of his lips.

The few boxes of tea leaves he sent were bad. Shortly, people in the office might all find out and maybe even ask him for some.

What a loss.

For the rest of the day, Lin Yi spent his time looking into the Jinshan Group affairs.

But many news pieces were censored; it was impossible to find relevant information.

Even in their own country, the media shifted, categorizing the issue as a regular pollution incident.

The public interest was extremely low, even less than a celebrity’s dog giving birth.

But the matter Zhang Guofu mentioned to him was definitely not without reason. The domestic media was so proactive, there must be deeper reasons.

This phenomenon was caused by the late follow-up, leading to much information being managed by public relations, making it impossible to see the truth.

Given this situation, to dig for deeper information, one must use special means.

He took out his phone and logged into the dark web, starting to search for news there.

Three straight hours passed, and Lin Yi found a lot of the information he wanted, some even at a substantial cost.

Initially, he thought it was a simple environmental issue.

But after reviewing the information, he realized things weren’t as simple as he thought.

The surface problem was a waste disposal plant discharging untreated wastewater into a river.

Ordinarily, such an issue wouldn’t constitute an environmental scandal, but the problem lay with this waste disposal plant.

This waste disposal plant mainly handled medical waste, and their biggest customer was the largest medical institution under Jinshan Group, Jinshan Hospital.

Reports indicated that the discharged wastewater contained the HIV virus.

According to regulations, the responsibility couldn’t be attributed to the waste disposal plant.

Because when medical waste is sent from the hospital, it has to be treated before it can be taken away.

So, the hospital had violations in its handling, ultimately leading to two people being infected with HIV.

Among this information, one hidden detail caught Lin Yi’s attention.

Part of the medical waste came from this hospital, and another part came from the group’s research institute, mainly responsible for biopharmaceutical research.

However, the information on the dark web pointed to the hospital, with few reports about the research institute.

Instinctively, Lin Yi thought the research institute might be related to the matter too.

To make this case more intriguing and attract more attention, the research institute should also become a subject of investigation.

After finishing looking through this information, Lin Yi opened TikTok to see what foreign users thought about the matter.

After browsing around, Lin Yi found that Jinshan Group was indeed quite influential.

Not only the domestic media but even on TikTok, much of the information was censored.

Lin Yi silently flipped through the few news items while reading comments to see users’ opinions on the matter.

But foreign users seemed not to pay much attention to the issue either.

They only deemed it a usual pollution incident, with a casual attitude.

But soon, Lin Yi saw a news item that piqued his interest.

When a woman was returning home from work, her car suddenly caught fire, turning her into charcoal by the time the fire brigade arrived.

Originally, Lin Yi wasn’t inclined to focus on such issues, but a comment below caught his attention.

This woman worked at Wuzhe Mountain Biological Laboratory, a subsidiary laboratory of Jinshan Group!

He switched back to the video content, realizing the oddity he hadn’t noticed before.

The fire burned for a full 20 minutes before the fire brigade arrived, an unusually slow response for a developed country.

So, was this accident possibly intentional?

Was the real purpose to ensure this woman’s death?

With this thought, Lin Yi began researching the deceased’s information. He was shocked once he dug into it.

This woman had previously blown the whistle, claiming the laboratory’s medical waste was improperly handled, hoping to use public pressure to condemn its management into addressing the issue.

Shortly after, the wastewater discharge incident was discovered, escalating the situation.

But within a day, the incident’s traction faded, easily deduced to be due to PR intervention.

And then, seven days later, the woman faced an accident.

Connecting all these dots formed a perfect logical loop.

This situation was deeper than he initially imagined.

Excavating all these events would undoubtedly make for riveting content.

No wonder journalists from other provinces and cities showed interest in this matter, as it really had appeal.

Unknowingly, it was noon, yet Lin Yi hadn’t gone out to eat, instead ordering takeaway while continuing to review related information to uncover more valuable content.

Around one in the afternoon, Yue Sijing entered from outside.

"Principal Lin, related arrangements are ready, we can set off at any time."

Lin Yi nodded, "How did you arrange it?"

"The waste disposal plant’s manager is named Park Su-dong. An interview can be conducted with him regarding post-correction plans." Yue Sijing thought for a moment, saying:

"Moreover, they held a press conference. This could be an opportunity to interview local officials."

Lin Yi curled his lip, dissatisfied with Yue Sijing’s arrangements.

This expression didn’t go unnoticed by Yue Sijing.

"Are you dissatisfied with the arrangement?"

"Following your plan to interview that Park Su-dong, what content do you expect to obtain?"

"Probably some official statements."

"Do you think filming such content will be interesting?"

"I know it lacks significance, and viewers may not enjoy watching, so I have little interest in this topic."

Lin Yi supported his head with one hand, sensing Yue Sijing’s thinking hadn’t broadened.

"Don’t you have the intention to delve deeply into this matter?"

"Deeply dig?"

"Besides this issue, two people contracted the HIV virus; these matters can completely be viewed together."

Yue Sijing frowned lightly, seemingly grasping Lin Yi’s implication.

"Have you considered what types of waste are handled at the waste disposal plant? Where is it coming from? Aren’t these questions worth exploring?"

Yue Sijing felt enlightened.

She suddenly understood Lin Yi’s point and gazed at him with newfound respect.

He was more remarkable than she had imagined.
